Research Status and Prospect of Microbial Herbicides
Weeds posed a great threat to agricultural production and had far-reaching conse-quences for the agricultural production.Overreliance on chemical herbicides had resulted in large populations of resistant weed population,which not only increased the frequency and dosage of her-bicides,but also triggered a vicious cycle.By analyzing current literature and research,this paper outlined the classification of microbial herbicides,and described their bioherbicidal activity and specificity against target weed species.Microbial herbicides were expected to fulfill the needs of sus-tainable agriculture development due to their unique advantages such as delaying the development of resistance in weeds,less ecological impact,high safety and sufficient resources.This paper further analyzed the current development status of microbial herbicides at home and abroad and the con-straints they were facing and anticipated their future development direction and utilization trends.
